Claude leak

The Register: Anthropic goes nude, exposes Claude Code source by accident.

Ars Technica: Entire Claude Code CLI source code leaks thanks to exposed map file.

The New Stack: Inside Claude Code’s leaked source: swarms, daemons, and 44 features Anthropic kept behind flags, Via.

My dogs I am crying. They have a whole series of exception types that end with _I_VERIFIED_THIS_IS_NOT_CODE_OR_FILEPATHS and the docstring explains this is "to confirm you've verified the message contains no sensitive data." Like the LLM resorts to naming its variables with prompt text to remind it to not leak data while writing its code, which, of course, it ignores and prints the error directly.

Michael Bacon @MichaelTBacon@social.coop has some commentary and a link to that jonny thread (above).

T he Register: Claude Code source leak reveals how much info Anthropic can hoover up about you and your system, Via.

tante @tante@tldr.nettime.org has some commentary...

It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
